Today was a good day. I woke up feeling so excited about what the day has to offer! =) I had a really good night ytd too. =) I was doing my quiet time and i sang "I can see the glory of the Lord.. falling from heaven falling around me.." and after a while i didn't feel God's presence yet, so i continued singing.. and at the same time yearning for it, wondering when it would come.. and BAM! I felt the overwhelming presence and i just cried instantly. I was SO touched. And i couldn't sing anymore. So i just hummed and cried simultaneously. God really meant what He said, "Draw near to Me, and i will draw near to you." I read the Bible after praying and unknowingly, i fell asleep... And the next morning, sth really UNEXPECTED happened. I woke up suddenly and realised i hadn't switched off the light and i checked the time, it was 6am. i mean.. Aileen woke up by herself at 6am!!! i reckoned it was still early. I switched off the light and went back to sleep. Adjusted my alarm clock (i didn't prepare anything for the next day when i fell asleep) to 6:30. Snoozed till 6:37. Ironed my uniform. Took my breakfast. Went to school. And guess what? this was the earliest morning i reached school so i finally had the chance to stand in btw my class (normally i'm at the back, way back.)

"Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
Matthew 6:25-27

I think God is just so amazing. He works in mysterious ways.. Waking aileen up is just a simple task to Him. God can do things above and beyond our imagination. I think our human minds can't even imagine the magnitude of His magnificence.

Anyway, my father went to fetch me and diana from school and we went to jp. guess what? i met my long-lost friend of 7 yrs!!! I know he's working at 'popular' and i told him i'd pop by some day. Before i went there i was telling diana "how ah.. i donno what to say to him leh.." haha.. he was my pri sch partner back in pri 4 and sth funny happened la. Anyway, those have become very pleasant childhood memories. So when i first saw him i waved. and he looked. He stared at me with a big qn mark above his head like he couldn't recognise me. Haha.. Came over. and we talked. Managed to dig up those moments which were shoved deep inside my mind.. He mentioned faceless names which i simply couldn't recall their existence. It amazes me how friends can just catch up where they left.. =)

later at night, i went with my dad for a short visitation to my grandma's. After that we went to chinatown! It wasn't as crowded as we both expected and the stuff they displayed weren't quite appealing to us. So, aileen + father = food! We went to eat dim sum at ard 11... He told me to order anything i want so i ordered 3 dishes. (1 was sold out) while eating, he asked "huh that's all?" i said 'ya' then he ordered 2 more.. oh my.... Just broken my resolution. I.e, strictly no eating after 11. haha.. as if that was not bad enough.. we went to buy 500g of roasted chestnuts on the way back... so eat again la. haha.. Anyway, my father was wondering why ppl like to buy ba kua only during cny period.. haha.. it's like.. ba kua is available all yr round lor. HAha.. nvm it was just a wild thot. =)
